I was wondering what to do if I tried to redeem a redemption where I scratched part of the code off and is hard to reveal. Some of the characters are visible but I stopped just in case in made the whole code unreadable. What should I do and how do I avoid this next time?

I came home from vacation last year to find that my dog had grabbed a handful of cards from my desk while gone. He destroyed a number of 1972 commons. Luckily for me, there were only a few teeth marks in a JBJ redemption card.

After scratching, there were two digits that I couldn't make out. I called Topps and they supplied me with the unidentifiable characters.

The buyer has a problem after scratched,what does that have to do with the seller.

The redemption is already scratched, but the underlying code is unreadable. I'm hoping you missed that part before you suggested that he sell it to someone else.

In my earlier post I said sell redemptions and you won't have to deal with stuff like unreadable codes.All you have to do is look at my feedback.

But even so if the code is unreadable the buyer has the right to file a SNAD and leave you bad feedback. You can say its their problem, but anything you sell on Ebay is ultimately the sellers problem for up to 45 days after it is sold.

Back in the day this is what I did and didnt have any issues with it. I may of called them and got a case number, but pretty sure I just sent it in with a note stating that once scratched I was unable to read the code.

Most threads I see about this matter discuss the dangers of sending redemptions and what can happen. Just because you have been lucky so far does not mean it can't or won't

I personally have been forced to refund a redemption card that was redeemed by the buyer before they returned it and have a neg from the buyer for it. Neither Ebay or Topps would do anything about it. It was only 7.00 total, but the buyer got it, redeemed it and then claimed it was bent on an SNAD to get their refund. They sent back the redeemed scratched card.
